Producers are putting the upcoming season of Battle of the Blades on hold after an unidentified member of the production team tested positive for COVID-19. "Due to confidentiality and with respect for privacy on behalf of both the cast and crew, we are not able to disclose who tested positive for COVID-19," CBC said in their statement. In August, two people involved in the St. John's-shot television series Hudson & Rex tested positive for the virus. For Battle of the Blades, Hockey Night in Canada personality Ron MacLean is set to host. Olympic ice dance champion Scott Moir, hockey champion Natalie Spooner, and professional skater Elladj Balde are this season's judges, alongside world champion figure skater Kurt Browning as "elite battle expert."
